João Gilberto - o amor, o sorriso e a flor
Once upon a time Joao Gilberto was just a reclusive and
eccentric
bohemian with a guitar, then came "Chega De Saudade", the
song that
launched both bossa nova and Joao's career. Over the next
three years
(with the help of song writing masterminds Tom Jobim and
Vicinius De
Moraes), Joao revolutionized Brazilian music with the
three seminal
albums that have become the Bibles of bossa nova: Chega De
Saudade
(1959), O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor (1960) and Joao
Gilberto (1961).

Recorded live (on August 2, 1962) during an
engagement at the Au Bon Gourmet nightclub in Rio de
Janeiro, the concert reunites bossa nova legends Joao
Gilberto (vocals & acoustic guitar), Antonio
Carlos Jobim (piano), Vinicius de Moraes (vocals),
Milton Banana (drums), Octavio Bailly (acoustic bass)
and the stunning group Os Cariocas (by then consisting
of Severino Filho, Badeco, Quartera and Luiz Roberto).That concert introduced a "new" song, "Garota de
Ipanema" ("The Girl From Ipanema"), performed with a
seldom-heard intro. The following year, Gilberto,
Jobim and Banana -- plus Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto
-- would record the internationally famous version
included on the million-selling and multi-Grammy
winning album "Getz/Gilberto."Among the other tunes performed on that concert
are two more later selected for "Getz/Gilberto": "Só
Danço Samba" (known here in the U.S. as "Jazz 'n'
Samba") and "Corcovado" ("Quiet Nights of Quiet
Stars"), both composed by Jobim. The tracklist also
includes "Samba de Uma Nota Só" ("One Note Samba"),
"Insensatez" ("How Insensitive"), "O Amor Em Paz"
(Once I Loved") -- all written by Jobim -- plus Baden
Powell's "Samba da Benção" and Dorival Caymmi's "Samba
da Minha Terra."The original concert was directed by Aloysio de
Oliveira, and this LP issue includes liner notes by
the California-based Brazilian music historian
Daniella Thompson.
